According to a recent Newspaper report and based on data provided by a background screening firm, 1 out of every 10 applicants is reported to be showing some kind of false information in his resume.
People lie about their previous employment experience either the number of years or the post they were serving and this is the most difficult to verify as most firms do not maintain records of temporary staff.
Strong background checks are the need of the hour as many organisations in the IT/ITES, banking and hospitality sector handle highly sensitive data such as software codes, credit card numbers, bank account numbers etc wherein identity theft assumes big significance.
